Trade Winds

Last call for alcohol, embargo 
              on the cargo headed for Fargo? 
                      Bootlegging articles of? 
                          "ConfederationNow", 
Boot logger, droned Over all? Foggered... Froggers, sprawled. Farms attacked by competing vows. ++
Blood drained Cows.

 
                              Imagine, Gaia hype- our brainwashing, a 
     sacrifice to a Paul Bunyan Nephilim type, "Savior" moonshining wormwood tea in exchange for Sheep. Believing them to be. Stoned blind in Texas, right wing. 

Liquid Media medicinals, points for eveyone West of, Diagonal the Allegheny, best of show, suggestion, 
             allegiant, allegory. (Oh...allegedly.)

                 As The King of the North fights zombies that believe the Game of Thrones just fantasy. Conspiracy_ Storytellers of propagandolf, minds of Sauron to keep 
                            eyes Wide-Shut. By Aristocracy.
To "pass" on the proof of those stoned blind in Texas, shekeled, bought, brought a Rose, of Sharon, 
from Ticked Karen's, in their own Eden. 
Those non-Citizens, 
"Christians of the un-Enlightened" l"unacy of Old', 
             thoughts? NoahmadicHeathens!

              Of the tide turning; going South. 
The dark side of the moon, 
       a journey scape of wet dreams in swoon. 
To partake the half empty side of drink. 
                         Salt of thirsts. 
             Cup of wrath of the Directional Winds. 
       A piracy bloodbath of Nationhood in martyred demarcation zones. 
    Cusp of swilling blood of the swill, 
    Apocalyptic feel, fills, 
    notes of the unveiling of the Whore who Rides the Beast on the Seven Seas. Leviathan is leavened, 
rising, ready to eat.

Now, there is censorship on speech on the internet, 
then is, when, is then en-Tyrely. 
The Gatekeepers at Fallens keep, 
keeping freedom, voices "Crying in the Wilderness"', 
Peeps out of reach. 
Accept for Government (entities) with algorithms, keyloggers, identity id thieves, imagers of the Beast. 
Spell binders binding 
their articles-of-New-World-Sourcery-Cheaping-Rumpelstiltskin-Seamstitchery-Tailoring-Truth- blinding-digital-mining-slaves for the Wolves, 
                Kings of the East, Trading Company.
             Trading souls for an hour with the Beast.

Before Dawn

Its the breathing of relax ! which mingle mixes beneath the roof of tamping rain drops, beyond the road salt stained glass, i know ! Its cold, of passing wheels, at early o'clock and the spitting, in crimson, spiralling, crackling music of the metamorphosis into charcoal of long past,chopped very dry logs; early o'clock cloaks me in the revolving whir of the fridge, i cannot hear the spiders feet!  although he has eight scurrying in the scullery, or the plop of the tea bag and the bubbling of hot, dropping swilling and brown.  
It is the gentle of Bozz and Betti snoring and my goose bumped arms scaffolding a heavy head and drooping eye lids, ah,comfort arrives in many clothes sizes and times. 
But, this comfort slips from key white to key black, the dripping morning of disappointed tunes and stamping feet, blurs under the flap of the breezing yawn of letterbox joy, just a jumble of jigsawed letters missing from an eternal alphabet, i am not liking this day, to evening and death.

Premium Member Whereas

Savvy scientists scoff at the soul:
Can't poke it, prod it, pinch it, probe it
  ~ and clearly can't claim to contemplate...

an empirical, egg-headed, experimental
all-enveloping ecstasy of erudite exactitude
elegantly and eloquently embossed, embedded
  ~ in its entropy of effervescing exegesis.
 
Whereas  

I know of no one -- nowhere -- nasty or normal
knock-kneed, neck-naped, nose-gnarled
neuron-nitpicked or nucleic-acid-nested

Who

denies indubitably or dubiously, definitely
or deafeningly--deranged, demented, 
debauched or denatured -- the sacred
sanctuary unsullied, where sits, serene and
silent, the small, still sound of said soul

swilling, swelling, seeking, sailing, soaring--- 
sensitively, sensorily, yea sentimentally---

til he sees, then sighs, then seizes
so surreptitiously the serum of sentience

Within!

Victim

I remember as a little girl 
On a visit to an aunt’s friends house 
I was sitting reading a story book 
As quiet as a mouse 

I asked to be pardoned 
To go to the loo 
They were all playing dominoes 
So I knew what I must do 

I opened up the door 
And placed my foot on the first stair 
Then I heard someone in a low voice say 
“Are you sure that she's all there”? 

I felt a tear run down my cheek 
I was doing what I ought 
Only speaking when I was spoken to 
That's what I was taught 

When I’d done what I had to do 
I went back down the stairs 
The domino game was finished 
And there were four empty chairs 

They were all in the kitchen 
Drinking cups of tea 
My aunt she turned to me and smiled 
And handed a cup to me 

She noticed my tear-stained face 
And stroked it with her hand 
I told her what I’d overheard 
She said I was too young to understand 

I was insecure throughout my childhood 
Never felt like I fitted in 
Undernourished because I wouldn't eat 
Now I’d just be classed as thin 

From the age of five 
My time at school was fleeting 
Feigning illness to avoid the bullies 
And escape another beating 

I remember cowering 
In the corner of the school yard 
Cigarette butts stubbed out on my arms 
Left painful, sore and charred 

Name-calling and violence 
Made me feel inferior 
Set upon by bullies 
Who thought they were superior 

When I became a teenager 
Things they got much worse 
The bullies were now older 
Younger ones they would coerce 
To taunt me and lie in wait 
And leave me in a battered state 

When i got my first job 
The bullying it went on 
Because my face didn't fit 
I was put upon 

Got lumbered with the dirty jobs 
That no-one else would do 
Like swilling down the filthy yard 
And scrubbing the outside loo 

One afternoon, the manageress 
Secretly asked me whether 
I would do sexual favours for a delivery man 
And I reached the end of my tether 

I got my coat and quit the job 
Never looking back 
I later heard that the manageress 
Was found out and got the sack 

Now that I am older 
No-ones victim will I be 
I stand my ground, nobody’s fool 
And i am happy being me

Premium Member Moonlight Madness

In the jaundiced light of the pock-marked moon,
Nevada nights many strange visions have seen
But few match spring time rapidly rutting rabbits 

Racing and romping in moonlight madness;
Frolicking free in a sagebrush sea
Amidst white-crested mountain waves;

While whirlwinds swirl and in playas play
One hundred and forty fathoms deeper
Than luna-limned beach strands of dry lake shores.

Bobcats lurk in the moonbeam shadowed deeps,
Eager to feast on the bounding banquet
Of loco late-night leaping lepuses.

Madling moonshine swilling drivers pop a
Fair share of raw rabbits upon their grills
As coyotes yowl over missed moonglow kills.


Premium Member Sentimentality

… is a drunkard
Swilling vintage regret,
Tears falling for undared dreams, 
Anger spewing over unrequited love.

… is endless replays of yesterdays
With circular insightful wisdom 
As likely to reverse life’s ills
As scrubbing dirt off hills.

… is stolen joy in the gloom
Of memory’s moldy greenhouse
Where fancied success blooms, hiding
Mocking hyenas and nightmare roaches.

… is a pustulated soul 
Hunkering in a mental bunker
Sniveling nose dripping a green past,
Dreaming victory will roar as thunder.

… is Salvador Dali droop
From the fringes of reality
Or a joy until truth 
Flushes it to a cesspool.

Premium Member The Pathless Path

I begin,
with spearmint breath, barefoot, and hushed skin 
woken are earth’s aromas of prayer and namaskar                
spilling intentions auspicious a focused vow within, 
with a promising salutation to the resending rising star
for the faded filaments of ashy ailments, as well
I hear their praises of open routes and yellow brick roads,
fast tracks to filigree of fulfillments where egos swell
gritty goals, lickety-split in their surrealistic abodes
its competition stirs the soul, yet their ebbing eyes be blind
to suit oneself and not the self, the soul-search sold,
to stay true becomes onerous of an untruth abstract mind 
The scribbler’s hastened house upholds,
phasing flowers into a creative expression explored,
literary archaic yet no soul from muse’s molds
some choose to pull from brutal banks previously implored
A game of Scribbage, the deal, the play, the show,
noted nothing less nor nothing more,
vintage vantage, a cribbage of blank blurt we all know
forgetful is the fact that we’re all amateurs
Take my savory words you, I’ll take yours if kind,
let go the ways to wicked wharfs, it’s the way to putrefy
away from stagnate depths of opaque layers grind
for those without weakness those of you rise
without the wormwood shells of bitter taste 
the lower plains and the pains and alibis
of watering wells d i s p e l l i n g waste
There’s innocence in our hearts
an inner chamber where the divine never dims  
there's a purposeful purity that never parts
it lives inside once broken down, our bones and limbs
it fills the ovoid, gives opportunity, I end with this,
as an appointee, in a designated avatar,
in  n o w  mindful we won’t miss
as we are receptors of higher light,
held above varmint vestments tsar
we transform our image  gone  the dark  knight 
There’s a secret garden inside, drunk on lovestruck swilling
becoming well known, follow the pathless path amidst
to the road I’m on, there, the sacred wells worth drilling,            
the one path known as blessed bliss

No Objection To Cold Weather But

No objection to cold weather, but...
ah jest wanna boomerang back into the womb

No matter birth canal
long since got breached,
countless scores of years
I quickly grew
impossible mission to plunge
(think Nestea commercial)
headfirst back into utero,
haint got any got any
handy dandy blues clue,

nonetheless said wish
I broach to you,
whether ye reside in Baku
Guangzhou
Kalamazoo
Kathmandu
Peru
Thimphu
Timbuktu.

Sudden pang roared awake
nsync like blazing saddles
hot enough to sizzle steak
torpid, humid, and
arrid extra dry to take
breath away analogous vacuumed
courtesy fire breathing dragon
chilling parched scales in great lake
already this doubting

Thomas doth hanker
for global warming yore
less than six months ago
geesh for goodness sake,
when Earth did bake
triple digit temperatures
no thirst could slake,

thus intravenous feeding
in tandem with trach
still inadequate to brake
yours truly did pine... for chill
against dehydration, ah only to wake,
when came the morrow,
where Jack and Jill
sweat buckets, this

before they climbed uphill
akin to madding crowd
clamoring, thirsting, gulping...
every last drop
essentially emptying damn
immense reservoir spill
futilely swilling parched lips till...

Old cranks shrugged off
exceptionally hot weather, and did scoff
younger generation's creature comforts
old geezers recalled
back in the day
as laddies and Tom boy

lassies did slough
no trespassing signs
skinny dipping after they shuck off
clothes giddily swinging
atop highest bough
playing hooky averse

learning would ever payoff
pitying other kids in school
former gathering rosebuds...
around lunchtime hunger
relishing stealing stroganoff
under nose of Mister Groff,

one former German World War II,
who colluded with American "boys"
despite heavily decorated luftwaffe
and posthumously honored
Veterans day getting last laugh!

The Dress

In an imaginary world where believe is everything,
there existed a dress of a magic perception,
for any occasion or who you meet it changes to its occasion.
Like the individual feeling you sense in that circumstance,
giving the eye of the beholder a dress of  perceptive romance.
The dress always in perfect fit and accessories included,
the soul knows that she is perfect and the dress has to reveal it.
But as the soul matures only by experience, 
the dress struggles with making perfect decisions.
The compromised dress in the wrong place,
and with whom not at the right time in sensitive space.
Tensions touching the weakest button,
the swilling chest of motions gets the boat rocking.
The top button jumps into the reflected image,
splitte personality without knowledge.
One cannot blame others, they acting like a mirror,
making the perfected image more queerer.
Every smile you get is usually a compliment,
creating reflections in multitude consent.
Every soul in its multiple reflection dress,
many mirror souls making beauty timeless.

Premium Member The Haiku In Blue

The Haiku in blue
Please do tell me what is new
Where's your Blue Sued Shoes?

My Mind's in a coup
Now what do I have to do
To escape this Soup?

Do you think me mad
Or do you see me as sad?
Either way's not bad

In my heart's a hole
They tried to save me, my soul
I've played Dead Man's Roll

The Haiku In Blue 
Like it's 23 Skadoo
Scooby Dooby Doo

It's in the old bar bub
In the Hotsie Totsie Club
Gin in the Bathtub 

Way back on time line
The year's 1929
Making Beer and Wine

Swilling homemade Booze
They thought that they couldn't lose
It was all a ruse

The Haiku In Blue 
Making my Poetry Stew 
In need there's a slew

I am just Rootin'
For Pharaoh Rootin' Rootin'
While Night Owl's Hootin'

To atone for sin
I shall roll the bones again
See what time I'm in 

Don't stay in one place 
Travel in both Time and Space
Seek Earth's Blue face

The Haiku In Blue 
Will never keep track of you 
Like the others do

Like the old map told
Seek you now the Pharaoh's Gold
Mined in times of old

Seeking the old ruin 
'Neath the face of the Blue Moon
Wanning all too soon 

First the moon has waxed 
By turning all of time back 
Howling Wolves attack 

I'm the Werewolf and
I'm the leader of the pack
I'm ruling this land

The Haiku In Blue 
Will make you your actions rue
Your illwishes too

"Where am I?", I said 
Now walking with the undead
Now the Moon is Red

Run the Human Race 
And Dance all over the place 
Gone without a trace

Sing a Happy Song
While having your Black Suit on
Hat and Cane do don

The Haiku In Blue 
Will always tell you the truth 
And show you it too 

So, It, What is It?
Monster from the Twelth Planet 
Believe every bit

The Haiku In Blue 
Will always tell you the news
Even if it stinks, Pew!

On all this Blue Stuff 
I say, "Enough is Enough!"
But quitting is rough

This is too Silly
Thrown 'round Blue Willy Nilly
This one's a Dilly

Done with Blues, my friend 
So tails you lose, heads I Win
Won't be back again...
